Take an overview of the chart. See if any
of the following "leap out at you" (are strongly emphasized). Do not look at
signs only! Planets and aspects are more significant than signs. Know the astrological
alphabet.

Repeated relationship of occupied signs
to occupied houses (e.g., vast majority of planets occupy signs opposite [or square,
trine, etc.] the houses which are occupied, such as planets in Libra in 1st, in
Scorpio in 2nd, in Sag in 3rd, etc. makes a natural opposition).

Tight, close aspect configurations,
e.g., grand trine, grand square, t-square, yod. Bear in mind the attributes associated
with different elements for grand trines and the "dilemmas" which are
reflected by cardinal, fixed and mutable grand squares and t-squares.

Any of the above which dominate the chart
will influence interpretations of the various life areas.
